Covington and the neighboring settlement of Watton anchor this central Baraga County landscape in the Upper Peninsula. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Sturgeon River and its designated Sturgeon Wild and Scenic River corridor, which flows through a mix of wetlands and timberland within the Ottawa National Forest. Local history is visible in the network of family-named roads and landmarks, such as Syrjala, Nurmela, and Maki, reflecting the area's rural heritage. Significant natural features like Big Lake, Worm Lake, and Tibbetts Falls dot the landscape, while the N Country National Scenic Trail traverses the northern section, offering a look at the transition between managed forest and wilderness near the Covington Cem.
